Control, Plan and Trust
How do you help behavioral kids in between plays on the
field? Some kids struggle, for a variety
of reasons, when given even small amounts of down time. Implement
CPT, or performance based routines, to help players stay focused. Intentionally select sport-based rituals for players to create consistency.
When players are not actively engaged in the game they are often assisted
by a mental check-list to complete prior to the next active play.
Organize the check list in the following way:
Control: You can only control yourself. Use techniques
such as deep breathing, imagery, cue words, or other coping skills to relax.
Plan-What is the
situation in the game. What is my Plan A? Plan B?
Trust- Stop
thinking and trust yourself to deal with what is happening in front of you.
